Crown lift of TPO Lime, Nottingham | Leaf Tree Services

This Lime tree is covered by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). Councils apply TPO’s to trees which are considered to have amenity value, or are of significant importance such as age, species or historical interest. Once a tree is protected by a TPO it is prohibited to carry out any works to the tree without consent from the local planning authority. It is also an offence to wilfully damage the tree in any way. A TPO can be applied to any tree of any species.
We were asked to carry out a crown lift to this mature Lime tree to make way for an extension to be built on the property. Applying for consent for works to a TPO’d tree is a straight forward process but does typically take a minimum of around 6 weeks
